Caulfeild Park
How to get there: Head out West Vancouver's Marine Drive towards Horseshoe Bay. Watch carefully for a left on to Piccadilly Street, left on to Dogwood Lane which becomes Pilot House Road. No park signs. Just street parking. If you have reached 4719 Pilot House Road you are there. Pay attention to the street signs. Portions of Piccadilly, Pilot House and Dogwood are all one way with the locals frowning on those who don't know the flow. When it is time to go home, you will need to continue along Pilot House Road, then take a right onto Piccadilly to get back to Marine Drive.
Not really a beach, more of a secret green belt along the ocean front. Much of the area is dedicated to restablishment of native flora. The beach area is often a hard rock bank. There are trails along the top of the rock with benches installed at various locations. There are spots where you can get out on the rocks and close up to the saltwater. The view is back towards Burrard Inlet with Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge in the distance. This lends itself to two activites: 1) watching fireworks when that happens in the summer; or 2) wedding/graduation photography. On a low tide you can walk to or from Stearman Beach to this park.
